Patent CA-2396082-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MATTHEWS RANDY THOMAS
IPC: H01R13/639
Filed: 2002-07-31
Abstract: Electrical connectors 40, 104 including contact terminals that can be unmated without previously disconnecting power include main contacts 12, 112 and auxiliary contacts 16, 130 that are shunted by a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) resistor 6, 140 located between the main and auxiliary contact. The main contact 12, 112 will be disconnected first and the auxiliary contact 16, 130 can be longer than the main contact 12, 112. Arcing will not occur at the mating end of the main contact 12, 112, because the current will be shunted to the still connected longer auxiliary contact 16, 130. I2R heating will increase the resistance in the PTC resistor 6, 140, so when the auxiliary contact 16, 130 is disconnected, current will be below the arcing threshold. Multiple latches 54 A,B and 60 A, B or 180 and 196 permit only discontinuous mating of electrical connectors, so that the connectors can be disconnected without arcing for a range of currents.

Patent CA-2400702-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PELECOUDAS DEMETRIOS
IPC: A61B1/273
Filed: 2001-03-28
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for the in vivo, non-invasive, early detection of alterations and mapping of the grade of these alterations, caused in the biochemical and/or in the functional characteristics of epithelial tissues during the development of tissue atypias, dysplasias, neoplasias and cancers. The method is based, at least in part, on the simultaneous measurement of the spatial, temporal and spectral alterations in the characteristics of the light that is re-emitted from the tissue under examination, as a result of a combined tissue excitation with light and special chemical agents. The topical or systematic administration of these agents result in an evanescent contrast enhancement between normal and abnormal areas of tissue. The apparatus enables the capturing of temporally successive imaging in one or more spectral bands simultaneously. Based on the measured data, the characteristic curves that express the agent-tissue interaction kinetics, as well as numerical parameters derived from these data, are determined in any spatial point of the examined area.  Mapping and characterization of the lesion, are based on these parameters.

Title: An entertainment system for a vehicle
Inventor: YASUHARA TOSHIYUKI
IPC: B60R16/02
Filed: 2002-09-11
Abstract: An entertainment system mounted on a vehicle comprises a plurality of audio sources. The entertainment system further comprises a head unit provided in the front seat area and a rear controller provided in the rear seat area. The head unit includes a control switch for switching between front control and rear control. The front control selects a front audio source to be played in the front seat area and controls the selected front audio source. The rear control selects a rear audio source to be played in the rear seat area and controls the selected rear audio source. Thus, a front user can operate the rear audio source. The head unit further includes an enabling switch for switching between an enabled state in which operation of the rear controller is enabled and a disabled state in which operation of the rear controller is disabled. Thus, audio operation by a rear user can be restricted. The entertainment system switches between connection and disconnection of the rear speakers according to whether the front audio source is the same as the rear audio source.

Title: Cold-adapted equine influenza viruses
Inventor: DOWLING PATRICIA W
IPC: A61K39/145
Filed: 2001-03-21
Abstract: The present invention provides experimentally-generated cold-adapted equine influenza viruses, and reassortant influenza A viruses comprising at least one genome segment of such an equine influenza virus, wherein the equine influenza virus genome segment confers at least one identifying phenotype of the cold-adapted equine influenza virus, such as cold-adaptation, temperature sensitivity, dominant interference, or attenuation. Such viruses are formulated into therapeutic compositions to protect animals from diseases caused by influenza A viruses, and in particular, to protect horses from disease caused by equine influenza virus. The present invention also includes methods to protect animals from diseases caused by influenza A virus or other infectious agents utilizing the claimed therapeutic compositions. Such methods include using a therapeutic composition as a vaccine to generate a protective immune response in an animal prior to exposure to an infectious agent, as well as using a therapeutic composition as a treatment for an animal that has been recently infected with an infectious agent leading to respiratory disease, or is likely to be subsequently exposed to such an agent in a few days whereby the therapeutic composition reduces such respiratory disease, even in the absence of antibody-mediated immunity. The present invention also provides methods to produce cold-adapted equine influenza viruses, and reassortant influenza A viruses having at least one genome segment of an equine influenza virus generated by cold-adaptation.

IPC: B05C11/10
Filed: 2001-03-29
Abstract: A system for applying a fluid coating onto a substrate includes forming a fluid wetting line by introducing a stream of fluid onto a first side of the substrate along a laterally disposed fluid-substrate contact area. An electrical force is created on the fluid from an electrical field (originating from electrical charges which are on the second side of the substrate) that is substantially at and downstream of the fluid wetting line. The electrical field can be generated by charges that have been transferred to the second side of the substrate from a remote charge generator.

Patent CA-2405993-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHNITKER MARK
IPC: E21B29/06
Filed: 2001-04-04
Abstract: A whipstock (100) is attached to a cutting tool (120) by a shearable connection (405, 410) whereby the whipstock and cutting tool assembly may be run into the wellbore simultaneously. Upon compressive force from above, the shearable connection fails and the cutting action can begin. The shearable connection (405, 410) is designed to fail in compression but to withstand forces in tension brought about by the whipstock, accessories and extensions required to properly place the whipstock above a preset packer in the wellbore.      In one aspect, the shearable connection means provides a first set of shearable members (410) with equal shear resistance in tension and in compression. Another set of shearable members (405) provide shear resistance against tensile forces but do not provide shear resistance against compressive forces. Failure of the connection due to the weight of the whipstock assembly is less likely.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif de support comprenant une plaque de base adhésive souple munie d'une ouverture destinée à fixer ce dispositif de support à la peau d'un utilisateur autour d'une stomie, ainsi qu'un bord sensiblement circonférentiel constitué d'un matériau souple et adapté à une fixation adhésive amovible avec un élément de raccordement d'une poche de recueil stomique, la partie extérieure de ce bord étant libre de se déplacer par rapport à la plaque de base. Selon l'invention, la partie extérieure du bord est plus souple que la partie intérieure du bord. Cette particularité garantit que la partie périphérique extérieure du bord peut absorber les mouvements entre le dispositif de support et le sac de prélèvement, ce qui permet de réaliser une protection contre le détachement de la liaison entre les éléments de bord et de produire un effet d'amortissement des forces agissant sur la périphérie des bords, la partie interne moins souple étant conçue pour supporter des déformations provoqués par le tampon adhésif.

Title: Computer method and apparatus for constraining a non-linear approximator of an empirical process
Inventor: TURNER PAUL
IPC: G05B13/04
Filed: 2001-06-27
Abstract: A constrained non-linear approximator for empirical process control is disclosed. The approximator contains the behavior of the derivative of a subject empriical model without adversely affexting the ability of the model to represent generic non-linear relationships. There are threee stages to developing the constrained non-linear approximator. The first stage is the specification of the general shape of the gain trajectory or base non-linear function which is specified graphically, algebraically or generaiclly and is used as the basis for transfer functions used in the second stage. The second stage of the invention is the interconnection of the transfer functions to allow non-linear approxiamtion. The final stage of the invention is the constrained optimization of the model coefficients such that the general shape of the input/output mappings (and their corresponding derivatives) are conserved.
